Hepatitis B Discrimination Reporting Tool

The purpose of this registry is to document and track discrimination related to hepatitis B. Discrimination is defined as the unjust, unfair, or prejudicial treatment of a person on the grounds of their hepatitis B status. In other words, being treated differently because of one’s hepatitis B infection. For someone with hepatitis B, this can mean exclusion, denying benefits, denied employment, education, training, goods or services, or having significant burdens imposed on an individual due to their infection status.

Have you been denied treatment for hepatitis C by the Oregon Health Plan?

If you live in Oregon and are on the Oregon Health plan, let the Oregon Law Center know if you are being denied treatment for hepatitis C!
